How to make content work for your website

Even the Guardian Gets Linkbait

The Guardian has run a piece talking about linkbait as if it were an everyday thing. Has linkbait gone mainstream?

Jack Schofield knows his linkbait, the piece he has referenced is a cracking piece, although as I speak it has not been submitted to digg or reddit or Stumble, what’s with that? Are they awake in celebrity scandal blog world.

Still, they got a link from the Guardian. Jack, what do I have to do to get a link from you?

Ha! The Guardian called me out the other day in an article about the site I did for my girlfriend’s Ed Fringe show. For one, I’d bought a couple of blog posts to get some inbound links and get indexed, and another, we were offering freebies to people who came to see the show.
